Two (Sprays Easily Compounded and
Applied Which Are Highly lteeous
mended for Fungus and Other Allied
Diseases.
In all cases, when dealing with plants
and animals, prevention is better than
cure, and there are many diseases that
we can prevent that are exceedingly
hard to eure after they have secured a
foothold. In many cases the remedies
we use are nearly as bad as the disease.
The best and cheapest of all preventives
is vigor. Keep the tree, plant or animal
in perfect health, and there is littlo to
fear except from malignant, infectious
and contagious diseases. The infections
we can prevent generally by isolation
from contact with the disease, if aware
of its approach. Contagious diseases
and insects that travel, and especially
sporadic diseases, that spread by germs
through air or water, as a rule cannot
be prevented by isolation or by quaran
tine. From infection by such we must
rely on vigor to resist and preventiveain
the line of chemical poisons of such
nature as can be cheaply and thoroughly
applied. Fortunately the diseases are
now well known and the preventives
available. Yet the conservation of
vigor in trees seems to be the hardest
for the orchardist to understand and ap
preciate the full value of. It is a fact
that nearly every ana of our fine fruit
varieties are abnormal, unnatural things,
weak in constitutional vigor, simply be
cause they are fine. They are fine
simnlv because they are artificial, and
hence weak. They are the survival of
the weakest because they produce fine
and abnormal fruit. Then, being natu
rally weak, the only way is to conserve
and strengthen what little vigor they
have by right pruning, cultivation and
care. Nothing deprives them, or vigor
go quickly as wrong pruning and train
ing. One can find hundreds of orchards,
from one to six years old, wneia ff ,ury
twig and branch that has been cut from
them since they left the nursery has
been exactly in the line of ruining the
vigor of the trees quickly and spoiling
their fruitfulness. A fair portion of the
cherry trees on this Coast are the only
fruit trees that have been headed low
enough and pruned and trained in the
line of conservation, of long life and
usefulness; and they as a rule have had
no pruning or training at all since the
day of planting, and some of them, as
is well known, are the best examples of
size, vigor and productiveness to be seen
among all our fruit trees. This is
simply because they have been allowed
to grow as nature designed a tree in
the open should grow that is, planted
single in orchard.
I firmly believe that, leaving out the
peach, if the fruit trees of this Coast
had all been branched to the very
ground and not been forced into too
great a growth by rich soil and cultiva
tion while young, and there had never
been a bud, twig or branch cut from
them, their product would have been
from three to six times as much as
it has been. Yet this would be going to
the other extreme, but it would be a
profitable extreme as compared with a
large majority of the pruning as now
done.
Gather up a hundred common calves
and try to winter them and give them
ordinary good care, and it will be found
that a certain percentage of them will
not thrive. Those of least vigor will be
found swarming with vermin. Drop oil
the feed so that all become poor, the
vermin will spread to all. Give good .
feed and care and a certain percentage
of the more vigorous will have no lice;
others only a few. The same is true of
trees so far as many insects and most
diseases are concerned. It is the stunted
tree on which you first find scale bugs,
borers, scale diseases, etc. hven an ex
cessive growth caused by too rich soil
with too much moisture reduces vigor.
Here are formulas for destroying or
preventing the worms or codling moth
larvse in apples, pears and quinces, and
preventing fungus diseases on the fruit
and foliage: Hixty-four pounds or sul
phate of copper (blue stone or blue
vitriol); 80 pounds uunlaked lime; dis
solve the sulphate of copper in fifty gal
lons of hot water; slake the lime in 100
gallons boiling water; pour the two to
gether slowly, constantly stirring; then
add 150 gallons water and one pound
best parts green. Spray every part of
the trees with this, the fruit and young
leaves, directly after the petali have
fallen, Repeat every three weeks until
after midsummer. One spraying will do
but little good, two will to of great i
benefit, and three is generally considered
fairly enough; but for perfect results
keep it up, and fine growth of fruit and
foliage will result.
For foliage diseases alone mildew on
grapes, scab of apple and pear, fnngi of
nearly every kind on plants, fruits and
flowers and rust of gooseberries, use
the following as a preventive, not as a
cure. LKn t wan mi you see iiibhi auu
they have a strong foothold, though it
usually prevents further damage. Tak
20 ounces carbonate of copper and i
quarts aqua ammonia; dissolve the car
bonate in 10 gallons of boiling water:
then add the ammonia and 80 gallons of
water. Wet every portion of tlie trees
or plants with a very fine spray every
two or three weeks; of tener tfl the jrin
if the weather is rainy or cold and damp.
These are the very latest remedies
recommended by the state and govern
ment experimental stations, from ex
tended and carefully conducted experi
ments during the past season, v.'hich re
sulted in saving from 60 to 90 per cent.
of fruit and foliage from damage. The
Winter Nellis pear can be grown here as
fair as a rose by using either of these
solutions. The one with paris green is
the best, but more difficult to apply,

ABILITY AND GENIUS.
HE HLEDT0 DEATH.
H. McDonald Dies From Pulmo
nary Hemorrhage.
BE WAS A RECENT ARRIVAL AT HEPPNER.
By Occupation a Sheepherder for Thirty
Years a Member or The Regular Army
Burled at Heppner Last Hnnday.
One Depends on I.ubor the Other on th
Fostering- of L'nlque 1'owers.
The greatest difference between tlu
kinds of ability and capacity which art
now more common than ever and tlu
higher forms of genius is, the Londor
Spectator thitikh, this that the former
depend upon the due division of labor
the careful study of appropriate meant
and methods of intellectual discipline
in a word, on the accumulation of suit
able intellectual experience; while the
latter depend upou the e-ireful fostering
of unique and only half understood in
stincts and powers, such as induced tht
prophets of the Jewish people to retire
into the wilderness, or in our own cen
tury sent up Wordsworth to his retreat
among the Cumberland hills, Thomas
Carlyle into his Dumfriesshire fast
nesses, Alfred Tennyson to his seashore
ruminations and John Henry Newman
to his lonely Oxford rides and walks
and his still more solitary Sicilian wanderings.
Now, what we can clearly see is, that
so far as the special influence of the
nineteenth century Is concerned, it acts
distractiugly rather than favorably on
gifts of this unique order. We think
we can see in the case of llrowning, for
instance, how the genius of the man
was frittered away by the distractions
of society and the multiplied interests
which attracted his shre wd intelligence.
What he wrote while he was compar
atively unknown was occasionally
hardly intelligible to the world (as in
the case of "Bordello"), but lor the
most part it was written under a pro
found sense of intellectual compulsion
or, as the old world said, inspiration
. But with one great exception 'Th
Ring and the Hook" which was more oi
less due to the period of seclusion which
followed the death of his wife and a
few smaller exceptions, especally
among the "Dramatic Idylls," his later
poems gave no impression of the same
kind of subduing intellectual necessity
and ardor. They are often gritty in
thought and jolting in. expression, as
well as very obscure, and embody none
of the passion contained in such poems
as "Pippa Passes," or "Two in the
Campagna," or "El Karshish, the Arab
ian Physician," or "The Bishop Orders
His Tomb at St. Praxed's Church," or
"Bishop Iilougram's Apology," or
"Christmas Eve and Easter Day," or
even "The Grammarian's Funeral," or
twenty others.
The distractions of the world told
upon him, and diverted him from that
concentrated devotion to the themes
most suited to his own genius which
was essential to their perfect render
ing; so that when he. came to write, he
only gave us a hasty and confussd ver
sion of his own meditations. The dis
tractions of a world of scientific re
search and astounding discoveries, and
inventions so ingenious that the human
mind itself seems almost dwarfed by its
own newest instruments, all militate
against that cherishing of the half un
conscious instincts of true genius essen
tial to the meditative maturing of great
gifts. The cares of this world and the
distractions of social amusements and
art and science only too easily dissipate
that ardor of contemplation which the
highest literary achievements require,
' Evidence That Cats Talk.
An Androscoggin county woman vdl,
have it that animals talk Ui each other
And this is the anecdote she relates to
prove her theory, says the Lcwistor
Journal: She has two cats. Dot and
Dot's youngest, named for his exploring
propensities ChristopherColunibus. One
morning a little bird Hew in at the operj
window, and falling to the floor lay
panting and dying. Christopher Colum
bus just then appeared in the doorway.
"No, you don't, Christopher Columbus,'
exclaimed his mistress, and, procuring
a tiny box, she put the still warm body
of the feathered mite into it and modes
deep grave under the apple tree. Chris
topher followed and looked longingly at
the box, then went away where he was
not seed for -some time: Only Christo
pher witnessed the burial, yet an hoiu
after, going out to look at the grave.
Bhe found Dot had dug up the box anc
Christopher was just about to devout
the dainty mouthful. Now if Christo
pher didn't go to Dot and say:" Mother
there is a little bird buried under thai
apple tree; get it for me, please," how
did Dot know there was a bird there?

On .last Saturday afternoon about 8
o'olock, one John McDuuald died sud
denly from internal hemorrhage at the
City hotel. Shortly before leaviug for
bis room he had been down in the barber
shop, aud seemed to be pretty well. He
came from Pendleton tbs day before,
wbere he said he had been living four
years, and that he was on the lookout
for a jobotsbeepherding. He complain
ed of suffering from asthma.
Immediately after his death, a jury was
empaneled by Coroner Avers, as follows:
Joe Williams, M. D. Uayman, W. E.
Walbridge, Obas. Sheldon, Sam Let-zer
and A. A. Roberts. They viewed the
remains, gathered up the unfortunate's
effects and prooeeded to the reoorder's
office where witnesses were exainiued.
The following is the testimony :
W. W. Lot, sworn : I started out at the
back door of the City hotel, and as I got
out I heard a terrible noise. JLuokiug
up I saw a man knock a window pane
out. First thought he was deranged.
Then I notioed that he was vomiting
blood. Went in and told the clerk thai
a man was in trouble up stairs. The
clerk and I went up where he was. Was
m bis knees, one hand on the window
the other on the floor. Was vomiting
blood. Did not apeak. Finally tumbled
over.
P. O'Donald, being sworn, corroborated
the statement of Mr. Lot.
Dr. MoSwords, under oath, testified
that McDonald came to his death from
pulmonary hemorrhage.
Jas. Depuy, sworn: McDonald came
in last night (Friday) on the train. Said
he was a eheepherder. Made his home
at Pendleton for the past four years. Also
said be had asthma. Brought a dog
with him. Said be wanted a job here
this summer. Had great difficulty in
breathing at times.
The jury found as follows :
We. the iarors. empaneled to investi
gate the oauses of the death of H. Ida-
Donald, find thai he was until recently a
resident of Pendleton, about sixty years
old, and that he came to bis death from
pulmonary hemorrhage.

Not a thing could be found among his
-dTeots to show wbere his relatives or
I'riends reside, and having ouly acquaint-
unoes at Pendleton, he was buried neatly
tnd with due respect last Sunday after
noon from the undertaking rooms ot The
Heppner Furniture Company. But little

has spent a greater part of bis life in the

everyday "kickers" and voters like our

outside kickers to help.) And now,

In "Topsv's" last letter I notioed she

"Topsy" will likely feel better. While
the goat may nave made it interesting tor

SEA
Discovery of s
SERPENTS.
Itemarkable Sptolea erf
Shark.
Prof. Oarman, in a lecture before the
Boston Society of Natural History, gava
un interesting synopsis of sea-Bnake or
sea serpent literature. besideB exhibit
ing n specimen of the real serpent to
the astonished audience. Ihe proles
nor, according to a Boston paper, first
gave an historical resume of the earlier
literature upon the subject, going oaoit
to the time of 1'ontoppida.n and review
ing it down to date. Farther on in his
lecture lie gave figures of some of the
queer marine monsters which have
from time to time frightened sailors
and others almost to death, deftly
drawing each of the figures on a black
board specially provided for the oc
casion. Prof, liannan also spoae oi a.
most remarkable recent discovery
which has brought to light a species) of
shark generally believed to have bsr
come extinct many thousands of years
ago, the remains of the animal being
now found in the rocks of the Devonian
lystem. He is of the opinion that this
recently discovered sea-tiger is- the
original of more than one blood-curdling
sea serpent story. The length and
general outlines of this should-be-foa-siled
shark are such as to cause anyone
except a born naturalist to take it for
an immense serpent, an opinion which
would, of course, be heightened by
viewing a dorsal exposure of the
creature through a glass in a troubled
sea. Prof. Oarman does not discredit
sea-serpent stories, however, and is of
the opinion that there are many slimy
monsters lyinc fur down upon the bot
tom of the sea the like of which human
eyes have never yet seen.
